SC sets 2024 Bar application period from January 15 to April 5

Individuals who are interested in taking the 2024 Bar examinations may apply from January 15, Monday, to April 5, Friday, the Supreme Court (SC) announced Thursday.

In a Bar Bulletin, the SC said all new applicants or previous takers who do not have existing accounts on the Bar Applicant Registration System and Tech Assistance (BARISTA) must create an individual account at https://barista.judiciary.gov.ph/

"All applicants are required to complete/update their respective profile, fill out the application form, upload/re-upload digital copies of the documentary requirements, and pay P12,800 application fee exclusively through the modes provided in the BARISTA," it said.

The SC said that within 10 calendar days from approval of the application, applicants must submit their printed application forms and other mandatory requirements to the Office of the Bar Confidant (OBC).

Applicants must also upload the digital copies and submit the physical copies of the deferred documentary requirements to BARISTA and the OBC by October 15.

The next Bar exams are scheduled for September 8, 11, and 15, with Associate Justice Mario Lopez as chairperson.
